Just checked prices on eBay for the first time since the morning and the average price is down 100-150$ already. It is still priced around $450 but expect that number to just keep going down as more and more Wii's get put up.

I had 8 hours of work to do today and ditto tomorrow so maybe its a blessing in disguise that I was the first one who didn't get one at my Target line this morning.

I wouldn't have sold it for profit, I wanted a Wii cause I'm a huge Nintendo and Zelda fan and I wanted to play it. If I had got one I def. would be playing it right now (I'm done with my work now).

Right now I would pay 325$ plus shipping for a Wii, but the prices are too expensive for me still. Especially considering the fact that even more Wiis will be launched next week than this week. If anyones looking to sell for a smaller profit, who would right?, let me know

Not worried, just impatient. But like I said I'm loaded with work until Thanksgiving break so its not like it matters much.

Anyways I'll stop dominating this thread with useless gibber that isn't helping anyone.

yoyodyne said:I can't believe all the eBay resales - for all the ones being sold for $500 there's 20 not selling at all. I don't get it.

I tried 5 different stores today (Target, toysRus, BB, CC, WalMart) and all were sold out or had lines with 3+ hrs waits before opening. Bleh.

Talked to an EBgames person (we all know how that goes), he said call back Tues for more info on their next shipment - he expected next week but also said there was a possibility of having some for Black Friday.

It sould like aregional thing. There were still tons (a least 40+ per store I visited) here at mid-day. Plus there have been ample online opportunities for those wanting one to get on without much effort or having go to eBay to get one. For example Sears.com had the unbundled Wii consle at the $249.99 MSRP. It wa posted just after midnight EST and it iwas over 12 hours today before they finally sold out.

do you have the Sears link?

Keep hearing rumors that some places might be getting more tomorrow - if not this weekend for sure.
Also reading that some eBay auctions are going for under retail price, mostly bundles though.

I called about 12 EB/Gamestops around my place(626/909 So.Cal) and only one said that they will have some tomorrow. The rest pretty much said BF. BF is the biggest shopping day. I believe they will hold them until Friday so they can beat last years sales goal.

I've also been calling around without much success. I talked to a GameStop manager that said they have "a few" Wii's, but they are reserved for people who got defective consoles. He also said they'd "probably" have "a few" on Friday, and that I could try lining up early on Fri. morning to get one, but it would be tough.

One Target dispatcher that I talked to this morning said that they didn't have any, but I should call back every day, "maybe even this afternoon"... not sure if that was a hint, or just random friendly advice. I just called back and got shot down yet again.

I will post again if I have any success, but so far it is looking like a trip to GameStop or somewhere else at an ungodly hour on Friday morning is the best bet.

^^ i feel a ban coming on.
